I'm not sure how common smear campaigns were in the past.

Pretty common:

The extreme polarization of american government is new.  It didn't used to be that it was two sides in a tug of war with each other.  The left the campaigns to get more creative in labeling the opposition then calling them a tax and spend liberal or a woman hating racist.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Right, but I need to know which candidate to screw the margin for. Rolling a 1 and voting Dewey is the same as rolling a 4 and voting Truman, for example.

I VOTE FOR THE TOTALLY-NOT-ALIEN-SCYTHER/ABRADOLF LINCLER TICKET.

IF THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE, THAN GO WITH THRUMAN/DWEY  TICKET.

Uh...that's not really how it works...

Vote for either Truman, Dewey or Thurmond; if you vote Thurmond make a second choice in case you draw a state where he wasn't on the ballot.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

Sadly I just realized there is no way Thurmond could win, even if we all voted for him and got 6's...

No. But what could happen, and what almost did happen, is for Thurmond to take enough Southern states that nobody gets an Electoral College majority, throwing the election to Congress, which was Republican-dominated, and electing Dewey.

Hey wait, what about voting progressive? Didn't they get a similar voting percentage to Thurmond?
